Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εὐκοπώτερος, the concept of ease or simplicity in the Hebrew Bible can be related to terms like נָחָה (nachah, Strong's 5148, meaning "to lead" or "to guide") and קַל (qal, Strong's 7034, meaning "light" or "easy"). These terms reflect similar ideas of guidance and ease in the context of burdens or tasks.

Usage: The term εὐκοπώτερος is used in the New Testament to describe something that is easier or less burdensome compared to another.

Context: The Greek word εὐκοπώτερος appears in the New Testament in contexts where a comparison is made between two tasks or burdens, highlighting the relative ease of one over the other. This term is used to convey the idea that certain actions or conditions are less demanding or more manageable than others. In the Berean Standard Bible, εὐκοπώτερος is found in Matthew 19:24, where Jesus uses it in a metaphorical teaching to illustrate the difficulty for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven: "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." This vivid imagery emphasizes the challenges associated with wealth and spiritual entry, suggesting that reliance on material riches can complicate one's spiritual journey. The use of εὐκοπώτερος in this context serves to underscore the importance of humility and dependence on God rather than on worldly possessions.
